HAMDEN — Police arrested two New Haven teens Saturday they said stole a car at gunpoint from a parking lot on Dixwell Avenue, after the two were shot at by another group nearby.

Jayvon Prevost, 19, and a 16-year-old juvenile, whose identity was not released because of the suspect’s age, were both charged with second-degree larceny Saturday in connection to the theft.

Police said a group of three people hidden in a garage on Saint Mary Street fired “multiple shots” at Prevost and his 16-year-old companion while they were walking by.

Several bullets struck a home on the street, police said, and one bullet went through a window — traveling across a bedroom before lodging itself in a wall.

There were three people home during the shooting, authorities said in a prepared statement released Sunday, but no one was hit by the gunfire.

“The two individuals that had been shot at fled from the area on foot towards Alling Street,” police said. Police said the pair jumped in an idling car they found in a parking lot on Dixwell Avenue. When an employee attempted to stop them from stealing the car, one of them “pointed a firearm at him,” police said, and the two drove off.

New Haven Police found the car shortly after, and were able to arrest Prevost and his alleged accomplice after a pursuit on foot, police said.

Prevost is being held on $20,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on Dec. 20. The 16-year-old will appear in Juvenile Court in New Haven.
